Abstract: A method and apparatus for internal fixation of fractures, which method includes the steps of initially aligning the fractured bone and bone segments, drilling pilot holes in the bone and bone segments to receive non-metallic screws and/or pins, inserting the non-metallic screws and/or pins in the drilled pilot holes to temporarily maintain alignment of the bone and bone fragments, applying one or more metal reconstruction plates to the bone and bone fragments, drilling additional pilot holes in the bone and bone fragments to receive metal screws and/or pins and inserting the metal screws and/or pins through the holes in the metal reconstruction plate into the pilot holes in the bone and bone fragments without regard to the location of the non-metallic pins and/or screws, to permanently fix the bone fragments and bone in correct anatomical configuration.
